I haven't changed a tire in years and with any luck, it will be years before I have to again. I'm not sure my car even has a spare, never went through the trunk to see. If it does, it's probably one of those dumbass doughnuts. I miss full size spares! My issue has been slow leaks. The roads suck and people tell me aluminum rims don't like to keep a seal. Unless I see a nail or something, I just deal with it. A funny aside. Thought there was something wrong with the axle, brakes or something because I was hearing a clacking that sped up and slowed down with the car. Turned out I had a rock stuck in the treads! 😂
